Lately

Hello blog! I have thought about typing up a quick post for weeks now but one thing or another keep coming up. So today I am sharing a bit of what we have been up to recently.

We have a new arrangement in our family room that I LOVE! We ordered another couch to match the one we already owned and also two chairs, a new big coffee table and now we have comfy seating for everyone! The room is very rectangular and the previous arrangement was definitely off! The new furniture really warms up the space!

Last weekend, Camille had her first gymnastics meet in Northern Virginia! She had been working so hard and did awesome! Here is a quick video of her on bars.

After her meet, we stayed over at the Gaylord National and on Sunday morning went to the ICE Exhibit! It was really neat! Highly recommend checking it out! I love the whole National Harbor area.

Then last week, Clyde performed his first grade musical. He was Cranky, the kid and was very into his part! He did a great job!

I am going to try to get back to sharing my menu plans the first of the year. But I have made some new recipes that have been good that I thought I would share today.

My sister, Kate made this Chicken & Dumplings recipe first and said it was yummy. I have since made it twice and it is a hit. Very easy too!
Easy Slow Cooker Chicken & Dumplings

This chili is really tasty...be sure to use low sodium chicken broth or less salt. Mine was a little salty!
White Bean & Pork Chili

Anyone have a great breakfast casserole recipe for Christmas morning? I am always looking for something new to try!

Sorry for the lengthy post! Happy weekend!
